Using available space on welding trailer to mount Vise

02-15-2010, 01:09 AM

Well being work not steady these days I have had allot of time on my hands
My welding trailer is small and I donít have much room on it so I am using available space, I needed to have a vise on hand from time to time so was looking at the trailer to see where I could mount a vise so there were some pieces of square tubing welded to it by previous owner who had this little tote trailer I think was a sprayer at one time.

So this is what I came up with not really a supper ideal but it will work for as often as I would need it.

I have no experience with welding uni-strut. How strong is the joint after welding? Just curious here since I have access to 4 or 5 12 foot sticks of this if I want them. I was worried that it was a poor or low quality product as far as welding it.

Hope work picks up soon. If you're like me, just start a large project at home and as soon as the house is tore to bits the calls will roll in like crazy.

Thanks for the correction sir. That was a poor general statement on my part. At work we use both and some of our help cant seem to load up the right stuff unless we tell them its the uni-strut stuff with either holes in it or slots. I know its bad but thats what we put up with, I guess the good part is that they are at work every day and on time.

I guess the good side is that you will use it right up to the day it starts to let go. And it may never fail. But if it does you can just put it back on.
